The Author's POV

Amanda's eyes lit up the moment they caught sight of Han Yufei, and the moment that happened, she finally let go of her tension and knelt on the ground on one knee.

"Haaa...haa...thank you."

Amanda muttered a few words of gratitude as her body slowly started to twitch from exhaustion.

Without a second thought, she took out several potions that Melissa had given her and gulped them down in one go.

As soon as she downed the potions, she started to feel a warm sensation that spread throughout her entire body, and the wounds on her fingers and other parts of her body started to slowly heal.

In case that wasn't enough, her mana and stamina were also beginning to return to normal, and little by little, a small flush began to spread across her previously pale face.

'...How strong.'

Amanda was surprised to see how potent the effects of the potions were.

Considering that she was the young mistress of the most powerful guild in the human domain, it did not come as a surprise to know that she had taken a lot of potions in her life; she naturally possessed an accurate understanding of the potency of the effects produced by these standard potions.

However, when compared to the potions that Amanda had just consumed, which had been given to her by Melissa, she realized that there was a vast difference between the two.

As a matter of fact, she had the impression that she was now able to fight once more.

'Incredible.'

This discovery astounded her as she slowly stood up.

"Are you okay?"

It was then that Han Yufei walked over.

Amanda nodded her head as she turned her head to look at him.

"I'm fine now, thank you."

Things would have been much more difficult for her if it hadn't been for his prompt intervention.

"That's great."

Han Yufei refocused his attention on the demons that were approaching the castle from below. Just as he was about to take a step forward and was about to once again engage in combat with the demons, his foot came to a halt and he slowly turned around, as if remembering something.

With a visible shudder of his body, he looked at Amanda with a pitiful look on his face.

"H..hey.."

His voice quivered slightly.

'What's going on?'

Amanda was taken aback by his unexpected actions, and she stared at him with a perplexed expression on her face. What, exactly, was it that caused him to react in such a manner?

Amanda didn't have to wait very long before she figured out the answer to that question; however, after she heard his subsequent words, she was left at a complete loss for words.

"...Can you do me a favor and stop telling him that his charm is lower than mine? It..s been causing a lot of problems."

Amanda's eyes blinked a couple of times as she tried to process his words.

The moment she did so, she became aware that her hand was covering her mouth, and before she even realized what was happening, she had already started giggling uncontrollably.

"P..please..."

'He's weaker than the human that I previously fought.'

While staring at Ren, who was covered in blood and had been severely beaten, this was the realization that came to Suriol.

Ren was in a terrible state, but what was even worse was that he didn't put up even the slightest bit of resistance when he was being attacked, which made the situation even worse for him.

'…Is he really the human in the memories?'

When Suriol recalled the memories of the previous human he had been fighting, he had the distinct impression that something was wrong with the memories he received.

He wasn't supposed to be this weak.

Despite the fact that Suriol was aware of Ren's weaknesses due to the memories he had acquired from Liam, things should not have been this simple.
